Best for cloud faxing for hospitals and government
EtherFax is a cloud fax network for healthcare and government, with a web client, a document-routing product and a REST API. No price is published and there is no self-serve plan, so you cannot tell what it costs or try it without talking to sales.
Who EtherFax is for
- Fits if you are a hospital or clinic swapping faxes with Epic or OnBase
- Works for agencies that need a FedRAMP-listed fax service
Who EtherFax is not for
- Not for you if you want a price before you talk to anyone, because none is published
- Skip it if you are one person who wants to sign up and send a fax today
- Watch out: email faxing is described for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace users only
- Watch out: it is pitched at organizations and workflows, so a small office may find it more than it needs
Why EtherFax gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so it sits in the middle of online fax tools, which start at $6.99 a month for the cheaper quarter.
- FFree plan and trialNothing free is listed: no free plan and no trial, only a contact-the-company route.
- BFeaturesEngage for sending and tracking, Flow for AI routing, a REST API and printer firmware integrations cover the job. The listing names no gap in it.
- CEase of useNo store rating is on record and it is sold to organizations, so setup means talking to the company and connecting your records system.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, but with Epic, OnBase, Teams, Slack, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Canon and Ricoh integrations, plus an API.

Keep EtherFax, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace EtherFax you would be making fax numbers connected to the phone network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 17 of the 24 other online fax services grade higher.
What you could not
- Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: SOC 2 and HIPAA.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. EtherFax’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
